lyrics

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire
they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire



fuck a low key, we be high-key

and fuck a red bull, i was born with wings

maintain your brain and your body

they are one high definition machine



the beginning is now and now is the end

and again the beginning is now

keep that spotlight on me forever

cuz i'll never take the final bow



they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire



Chicago is a model of a pill that's hard to swallow

fake ass politicians should change they name to Rollo Goodlove

why couldn't love just be the motto?

when good brothers die every day

and children follow the example

I lay awake just thinkin "why though?"

wishin I had the answer but man, I don't

good music could save! so damn

go on, put your hands up

we need an anthem for peace

to get you dancin with your rivals

to make them frequencies elevate like when singers hit them high notes

and i aint even from in them streets

but man i won't

pretend like i'm feelin that heat

but hey, i know

when we cause the fire to cease

we turn the tides yo

instead of squeezin triggers we each could take the high road

and when your heart starts to increase

that's when you ride slow

make some art, get you a beat and bust a nice flow

instead of prison yards you be free to be a hero



another young boy loses life tonight -- why?

i beg and i pray and i set my sights high:

oh lord, all my people in the world to be free

hey, oh, la la la la la la, oh yeah



they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire



negativity dissolves like debris

in the burn of my atmosphere

no matter how quick through space it flies

it falls apart when it comes near



see my mission's so huge it got its own moon

circlin around the sky

ooh gravity pulls and i don't know how

but all that really matters is why



they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire

they call it Chiraq - we callin cease fire
